LOL....clearly nickel and the auction title says Hammless so I reckon there's no pork involved

 

[jcs]

No doubt it's nickel and likely a refinish. Hammless?

According to Brunner,s, 19 380's were silver-plated starting with s/n 8962 in 1911. (BOOK II pg 64&65)
He also says 27 380's were silver plated around s/n 68223 in 1922.
This is not one of them.

This does not look like Silver Plating to me.

But, does look like Nickel.

'Hamless' ( with one 'm' anyway ) is an appropriate Orthodox practice, for the Dietary observations of at least a couple major Religions.

'Hammless' is less certain.

finally a kosher model m !! lol

Sorry Malysh, It is a neat 1936 that would be a fun BBQ carry for about $500. Definitely refinished, pure pork, can’t be kosher.

I do not know about a refinish, there is not detailed enough pics for me to make that call. I have a 1908 nickel that is about 95% or so. The lines still look pretty crisp on that from the poor pictures. Every one of these that I have seen that was refinished nickel had terrible pitting under the finish and very light markings. I could be wrong but that happens all the time

Strange thing is, as best as my eyes work, it doesn't look refinish. The seriel on the side sure is clean and crisp, and the Chrome/silver/nickel is in excellent condition, for a gun of it's age. It really is pretty, (not 1700 pretty, but pretty)

I think they were talking about beer. Hamm's beer was a longtime sponsor of the Chicago Cubs and are now out of business - thus Hammless

Jack Brickhouse calling the play by play...Hamms commercials "From the Land of Sky Blue Water" .....my grandpa took me to my first game when I was 4, got a glove, hat and pennant and sat behind the dugout of the Cubs (third base side). I've been cursed ever since to being a Cubs fan no matter where I've hung my hat. I was a bleacher bum every chance I got. Good times, great fans and one of the best ballparks to watch a ballgame. I've digressed...the Colt in question is nickel as you can tell by the yellow tint near the stock panels (how's that for a save Mitch?)

i have a 1921 in nickel.....little rougher than that one.....i gave a lot less for mine....

 

[Cobretti]

I was just there a few weeks ago and vaguely remember seeing this. Pretty nice place, but they should know better about the listing.

Now if you want a full auto Ma Deuce they can hook you up...
